A communication management resource receives input indicating presence of a pair of wireless stations including a first wireless station and a second wireless station in a network environment. Based on a determined amount of adjacent channel interference between the first wireless station and the second wireless station, the communication management resource generates an adjacent channel interference value. The communication management resource assigns the adjacent channel interference value to the pair of wireless stations. The adjacent channel interference value indicates an estimate of adjacent channel interference between the first wireless station and the second wireless station. In a network of wireless stations, the adjacent channel interference value is used as a basis to identify pairs of wireless stations that are susceptible to adjacent channel interference. A wireless channel allocation management resource uses the adjacent channel interference information to allocate wireless channels for use by wireless stations to reduce adjacent channel interference.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method as in claim 1, wherein assignment of the adjacent channel interference value to the pair of wireless stations indicates that first communications over a first wireless channel by the first wireless station causes interference above a threshold value to the second wireless station communicating in a second wireless channel, the second wireless channel being adjacent in frequency to the first wireless channel.
11. The method as in claim 1, wherein the adjacent channel interference value is based on a combination of: i) first adjacent channel interference caused by the first wireless station wirelessly transmitting while the second wireless station is wirelessly receiving, and ii) second adjacent channel interference caused by the second wireless station wirelessly transmitting while the first wireless station is wirelessly receiving.
12. The method as in claim 11, wherein the adjacent channel interference value is set to the greater of the first adjacent channel interference and the second adjacent channel interference.
13. The method as in claim 1, wherein the adjacent channel interference value is based on a combination of CBSD (Citizens Broadband radio Service Device) coordination and EUD (End User Device) coordination.
19. The method as in claim 18, wherein communications to/from the first wireless station and the second wireless station are frame synchronized with respect to a common time-division duplex configuration implemented by both the first wireless station and the second wireless station, the common time-division duplex configuration supporting the uplink subframes and the downlink subframes.
25. The method as in claim 1, wherein the adjacent channel interference value is based on a combination of: i) first interference caused by the first wireless station wirelessly transmitting the first wireless signals, and ii) second interference caused by the second wireless station wirelessly transmitting the second wireless signals.
35. The method as in claim 34, wherein assignment of the adjacent channel interference value to the pair of wireless stations indicates that first communications over a first wireless channel from the first wireless station causes wireless interference above a threshold value to the second wireless station in a second wireless channel, the second wireless channel being adjacent in frequency to the first wireless channel.
44. The system as in claim 34, wherein the adjacent channel interference value is based on a combination of: i) first adjacent channel interference caused by the first wireless station wirelessly transmitting while the second wireless station is wirelessly receiving, and ii) second adjacent channel interference caused by the second wireless station wirelessly transmitting while the first wireless station is wirelessly receiving.
45. The system as in claim 44, wherein the adjacent channel interference value is set to the greater of the first adjacent channel interference and the second adjacent channel interference.
46. The system as in claim 34, wherein the adjacent channel interference value is based on a combination of CBSD (Citizens Broadband radio Service Device) coordination and EUD (End User Device) coordination.
47. The system as in claim 46, wherein the communication management resource is further operable to: determine the adjacent channel interference value based on channel usage during a test of generating the adjacent channel interference value.
